Now i,ve bought a basket case 4 door as that,s all I can afford !! Thought This might be a good way to source panels and info. Still at the new panel welding stage, got a one piece floor fitted with new seat x members and all the old brackets welded in. Now looking for pair of full outer sills with the step but struggling a bit. Saw loads on ebay recently but now i want them they seem to have disappeared. Suggestions would be welcome.

Going to buy some GL4 this week, but debating between COMMA Semi-Synthetic GL4 SX75W-90, or a more expensive Redline Synthetic MTL 75W-80 GL4.Sat, 17 Mar 2018 23:39:50 +0000Camber mk2 escortSo I fitted new track rod ends and locking nuts. I noted the new track rod ends were 4mm longer and the new locking nuts about 2mm thicker.
I took the car to have the tracking set up and he could not do it correctly. The wheels are in at the top and ever so slightly out at the bottom but alot better after he had a go.There is no exposed thread on the steering arm so no adjustment left.
To get it done properly he said I need to move the track control arms inwards to pull the bottom of the wheel inwards.
Is there any adjustment on the tca.can I loosen off the bolt and reposition?
I don't want to buy adjustable tcaSat, 17 Mar 2018 22:04:45 +0000Sat, 17 Mar 2018 16:17:48 +00003rd "E's On The HillFord100e.com would like to invite you all to The 3rd E's On The Hill event on 11 Aug 2018 Jacks Hill CaféA5, Watling Street, NN12 8ET Towcester, NorthamptonshireSat, 17 Mar 2018 14:17:06 +0000escort mk2 bonnet cable release clampcan any body help need mk2 escort bonnet release cable clamp if so how much with postage to ip17 3bz

anyway Is there a way of plumbing it in without going to the inlet manifold as I welded up the take off as I didn’t want the heater but maybe now I wish I hadn’t.
I was thinking pump to top heater hose and bottom heater hose to a junction on the radiator top hose would this work?
As anyone else plumbed in the heater this way or is there a different route?

i am debating which alloys to put on and my heart is set on the original MK1 RS alloys but am finding it very difficult to get hold off them
so will have to settle for RS4 alloys as the capri laser ones i had on it gave me nothing but issues evening breaking the spline twice in the front hub
so i had to get the hub replaced twice
if any one can tell me what size can i go to and what size tyres that involves i would appreciate it
